At 300 km/h in the tunnel. Peter Hickman is the kind of person who throws caution to the wind.

You have to be a bit crazy to go round winding street racing tracks at 300 km/h. Peter Hickman says you were either born with it or not. So it's not madness. Because that would be overthinking it.

Sepp Mächler

The passion for motorsports first brought him onto the race track and then, well, back to the race track.

As rough as the asphalt on which he feels at home. This would be one way to describe Sepp Mächler. And it's true. Rough surfaces provide more grip and feedback. Every racer knows this. And so it's hardly a surprise that the product manager wishes to be out on the race track. Because this is what the HP4 RACE is made for. Not for the road, not for the garage, but for the raw bends of the race tracks of the world. Read about his first test ride with the HP4 RACE here.
